## What is Hex Puzzle?

Shape, stack and clear in Mosaic Stack, an original color-and-symbol sorting puzzle built around a compact 19-space hex board.

Choose one of three layered stacks and place it carefully. Neighboring stacks with matching top symbols join automatically; build a group of six or more to clear it, reveal the tiles beneath and trigger satisfying chain reactions. Reach the target before the board fills.

Features:
• Clear, tactile stack-and-merge play
• Progressive levels with reproducible puzzles
• Helpful move suggestions and two free daily hints
• Optional rewarded ads for extra hints
• Restrained interstitials only between every third completed level
• One-time Remove Ads purchase for automatic ads
• Game Center authentication and cross-device progress saves
• Shape symbols so color is never the only cue
• VoiceOver support and reduced-motion-friendly presentation
• Undo, restart and reliable autosave

No ad interrupts active play.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.2 — 2026-11-06

Store listing refresh so Mosaic Stack is easier to find. Same hex puzzle gameplay, levels and progress.

### 2.2.1 — 2026-11-04

Standard look restored after Halloween — the default theme and icon are back to normal (seasonal auto-expiry kept). Clearer in-game controls: Daily/Zen stay out of the way once a run starts, and Undo is a full 44pt target with Unavailable / outline states so it never relies on colour alone.

### 2.2 — 2026-10-23

Improved App Store listing and minor polish.

### 2.1 — 2026-10-23

• Zen scores: Zen mode now keeps your score. Tap End session to bank it, save your best and post it to the new Zen Game Center leaderboard.
• Daily and Zen now sit side by side right under your level, easy to find.
• The whole game now fits on one screen on every iPhone, from SE to Pro Max, and on iPad. No more scrolling.
• The restoration gallery has been retired to keep things simple. Your progress is safe.

### 2.0 — 2026-10-13

Mosaic Stack 2.0 is our biggest update yet:

• Courtyards: 30 new hand-made levels with stacks already in place, plus 10 new ceramic artworks to collect in the gallery.
• Daily mosaic: a fresh board every day, the same for everyone, with a gentle streak (missing a day costs you nothing) and an optional reminder.
• Drag to place: press a stack and drag it onto the board. Tapping still works too.
• Zen mode: an endless board with no target and no way to lose.
• Board themes: unlock new boards and backgrounds as you complete levels. Tiles keep their symbols in every theme.
• Game Center: a high-score leaderboard and 7 achievements.
• Share your results, and find our other games under More from Tom Makes Games.
• Watching an optional advert for a hint is now a single tap.

Mosaic Stack is still free, works offline and supports VoiceOver and Reduce Motion. Thanks for playing!
